Hi. I am a senior at Evanston Township High School. I am working on an independent project: to perform acts of kindness in Evanston and take pictures of them to post on Flickr. I hope to spread kindness around my community and make people aware of acts of kindness. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to add anything relevant to acts of kindness and my project. Leave a post, add a comment to my posts, come back as many times as you like, and look at the websites and books I have added : )

Traffic
On Saturday, I was driving on Ridge during rush hour. I just let a car come onto Ridge from Washington. This act of kindness was not much but the woman waved at me and I smiled and waved back. That one second of contact allowed me to show her that I cared and let her get on her way a little faster. It also made me happier because I always dislike, especially in rush hour, when another driver does not let me in. It is a simple yet courteous and kind action that shows the other person you have acknowledged them. Why not? It only takes a couple seconds but can last a whole lot longer.
